Question

How should state appropriations to a state universoty choosing to report as engaged only in business-type activities be reported in its statement of revenues?

Answer 1

Answer: Non-Operating revenues

Explanation:

Such an activity will be recorded as a non-operating revenue in a proprietary fund in the university as these funds record revenues and expenses and will differentiate between operating revenues and non-operating revenues.

This is a nonoperating revenue as it is considered a nonexchange transaction where a government department or agency gives resources to another department or agency and mandates that they do something specific with it without expecting anything equal in return.
